WORX Trivac 3 in 1 Electric Leaf Blower for Lawn Care, Leaf Vacuum with 350 CFM & 210 MPH, Leaf Mulcher with Metal Impeller, WG509

I got tired of paying someone to take care of the leaves that accumulate in my yard each Fall, so I decided to buy this Worx Trivac leaf mulcher to help me do the job myself. I have owned several Worx tools over the years, so I know that their quality is excellent. This device is actually a blower as well, but I wouldn’t call it a 3-in-1 device since the vacuum and mulcher features are really just one function (It sucks in the leaves and mulches them before depositing them into the attached bag). Since this mulcher requires a power cord, I would recommend using at least a 50-foot cord and maybe even a 100-foot one, depending on the size of your yard. After using this mulcher for an entire weekend, I am very pleased with it so far. However, I have 2 recommendations. First of all, make sure you don’t have any rocks, small tree branches, or other objects in the yard that could damage the impeller or cause it to get clogged. So I would suggest walking around your yard and removing any objects besides leaves that could cause problems when you’re using it. Second, it will be much easier to mulch the leaves if you rake them into piles first. I took a normal rake and went around my yard and created several small piles, which then made using this mulcher much more efficient. Also make sure you have a large garbage can ready so you can dump the bag of mulched leaves into it each time it fills up. Based on my experience with this leaf mulcher, I highly recommend it. The only thing that would make it better is if Worx came out with a battery-powered version so you didn’t have to drag a cord around your yard. But a battery-powered version might be too heavy and might not have enough power, so maybe that’s why Worx hasn’t done that.

Having never used a tool like this I had different expectations than what it has evolved into. I have a pair of southern white oaks that like to drop leaves and acorns all winter. By springtime the drop has a tendency to choke out a bermudagrass lawn that is already starved for light and air. So every year at least 3-4 times during the season, I need to pull the bulk of this material out of the yard so the soil can accept amendments, pre-emergent, fert, etc. before greenup in the spring. Southern white oak leaves are small and they like to crawl under grass blades. Even when my lawn is cut to about 1" these leaves are still hard to extract directly into the mulcher/vac. So after slaving over covering about 1200 sq ft going inch by inch with a heavy mulcher, I figured out the easiest and most efficient way... Go over the lawn with my smaller and lighter blower and pile the loosest material in a small zone. Then vac this pile up. If any more significant material is left, try to rake it loose then repeat. This vac does not pick up the acorns but for the few that make it in, the mulcher makes quick work of it. I use the same strategy as above to pile up the acorns left over from vacuuming into a small area with the blower after vacuuming all the leaves. Then I'll pick up the bulk of it with an acorn roller and finish the rest off by hand. Random notes. -For leaf work, you really do need to set this to full power (setting 6). -The available blower feature is not that useful except when needed on occasion. I use my separate blower that is lighter instead. -It is as many reviewers have said, kind of heavy. It's not that heavy really but more so when adding the weight of the collector bag with the machine over extended amount of time, it gets pretty tiring pretty quickly. Make a habit of slinging the bag cross body as opposed to over the shoulder. -It's loud and dusty. Like it or not, the vac will pick up any loose dust on the ground and then diffuse it through the bag and into the air. My neighbor's car has a healthy layer of dust and pollen on her car now after my 2 hour sojourn in the yard. -It can handle pretty much any material it can suck up. I should say though when I first got it as a like new used item (a lie btw as it was clearly well used), it would not do anything but buzz. After a bit of trouble shooting and reseating the parts multiple times, I discovered a hard twig inside the impeller that was sticking the entire tool. After safely removing it, it has worked like a champ ever since. It has in fact picked up twigs bigger than that one and minced them readily. -It seems to be most comfortable when held vertically and sweeping about an inch above the ground. -The bag does need to be emptied often. Fair enough though because you also have to carry it. CONCLUSION: I think for the fact that I have small leaves that can't be raked, this is a lawn saving tool that is inexpensive, effective, and over two seasons now, pretty durable. I have no regrets other than AW selling me a malfunctioning barely acceptable item as Like New but they have always treated me well otherwise. I fixed it, it works, moving on. I also changed tac and began collecting the mulch to be composted as there is a significant amount and I can combine it with my grass clippings. The vac picks up a lot of dust and dirt when used on dry ground and that makes for good structure for the compost. I'm very happy with this one, its on the wall in my shed, a place of honor and space savings.

If you battle leaves like I do, you are probably willing to try about anything to make it faster and easier. The WG509 electric vacuum mulcher is a unique product that can help you win the battle against nature. I was able to buy this product for 60.00 which was a real bargain. I will admit my expectations were not high. The machine comes neatly packed and doesn't require a complicated assembly. There are only three parts and they snap together easily. Plug it in and you are ready to go. The first thing most people will notice is it's heavy. The longer you use it the heavier it will feel. It's also loud, especially on vacuum. I am not crazy about the shoulder strap. It needs a pad or something. The nylon will rub your skin raw from the weight of the leaves and moving around. The blower is ok. In my opinion it isn't positioned properly which makes for a weird blowing angle. I have to agree with other reviews about the mediocrity of the blower. I didn't buy it for that reason primarily. It's easy to switch from blow to vacuum and this machine functions best to suck up leaves. It chews up dry leaves like a champ but bogs a little on wet ones. It only occasionally clogs but its easily cleared. The suction is decent but anyone expecting shop vac level power can forget it. The bag fills up quickly but it definitely beats raking. The unit shines around corners and up against the house and even small sticks, twigs, and acorns don't slow it down. The main point for any buyer is manage your expectations. It will not turn a four hour job into a fifteen minute job, but it certainly beats raking. I would recommend the trash can adapter, which I just ordered because the bag fills up too quickly. This is a good product. I'm impressed with the progress so far and would recommend it as an addition to your yardwork arsenal.

Needed to replace my old Toro blower/vac. Saw this and thought the price was great and I liked that it could go from blower to vac with the flip of a switch. Read the reviews which made me somewhat skeptical, but decided to give it a shot. Just used it for the first time and it is a beast. My old Toro had a plastic blade that would constantly get clogged by small twigs and sticks and I would have to stop, dismantle and clear the clog. This machine has a metal blade and it did not clog once. I could hear the sticks and twigs being shredded by the blade. Suction is great. Sucked up wet leaves. Even sucked up some seashells my kids had left in the yard. My only "complaint" would be that the bag is too small and the zipper doesn't open all the way to the edges, so it takes more effort to empty than it should. Might look into getting the hose/trash can lid accessory. Overall, would HIGHLY recommend this unit. Great performance and a great price.

This leaf vacuum works just well enough to be useful. The suction is enough to pull up clumps of leaves that are directly under the nozzle, but don’t expect it to suck up things from more than an inch or two away. It’s really helpful for getting underneath bushes or from flower beds, but it is very very time-consuming to clear leaves from a lawn. Remember that you’re going to have to move that nozzle over every inch of the lawn to get the leaves off of it and it won’t get every leaf the first time. The mulching function works great. you end up with a surprisingly compact bag of leaves. The mulch leaves are much easier to dispose of than what you would rake up. Ergonomically, use becomes a challenge when the bag is more than half full of leaves. The balance of the whole unit is off and it’s more of a struggle. I’m 6’ 2” and found that everything was a little too short to use comfortably. I couldn’t use the shoulder sling for the bag and have the nozzle get close enough to the ground at the same time. The power switch requires two hands to operate. It’s very stiff. From a safety perspective, I don’t love the fact that you can open up the tube with one button pushand have immediate access to the impeller while it’s still spinning. I haven’t tested to see if there’s a safety interlock, but there’s definitely no brake mechanism to stop the impeller when the nozzle is removed.

Excellent product the combined blower and leaf vacuum was genius. Rather than having two separate products that you have to carry around, all it takes is a flip of a switch between the two. The power of the blower was more than enough to move the leaves, i.e., small and large, at will. Was most impressed with vacuum. I have some heavy mango leaves and it is the time of year when it falls into the yard regularly. The vacuum has the power to scoop up these leaves and its mulching ability is as touted. For a 77 year old male, this product was not too heavy, largely due to the additional should strap provided. It was not light in weight, but was manageable. Love this product and would highly recommend it. I have not used it a lot as yet and just got it; so I cannot address the long term performance of this product at this time.

I really did not want to write this as I have several Worx products that work really well. Unfortunately, this leaf vacuum/blower was disappointing in so many ways, I felt the need to respond. Like all of my Worx tools, this one looked great. That's where the positives ended, though. Here's why: 1. Suction was terrible. As I was picking up debris I would see things I had picked up seconds earlier falling out of the nozzle (see video). The problem isn't that there isn't good suction, it is that the collection bag is lined in plastic and really inhibits the suction. I removed the bag and tried to pickup the same items and watched as they shot across my driveway with significant force. The bag design is basically crippling the vacuum operation tremendously. Like trying to blow into a bottle. 2. Ergonomics suck. Specifically, the design of the handle. Most of the competing products have a handle that goes halfway or more around giving you multiple points where you can adjust your grip or use 2 hands. The Worx has a very short handle and when the nozzle is placed in a position to do its job, it puts your wrist at an odd angle making your hand and arm fatigue a lot quicker. The only other hold point is to grab the bag strap, but that doesn't lessen the awkward handgrip. 3. Once you put the nozzle extension together with the main intake assembly you will have a heck of a time ever getting it off. There are 3 click-buttons that hold the nozzle extension in place that you must depress in order to remove it. They are too stiff to press with a finger, so you'll end up using a screwdriver or two leading to nicks and gouges in the plastic and a very awkward struggle to get all 3 disengaged at the same time in order to remove the extension. 4. instead of being straight, the nozzle extension has a severe angle at the end that makes the user have to rotate the handle even further forward exacerbating the wrist and arm fatigue. Since I often had to put the nozzle tip flat over the leaves to pick them up, I found myself having to switch hands often or take breaks as my arm and hand were just too tired. About the only thing this is good for is picking up dry leaves AFTER you have raked them into a pile. Even then, it simply isn't up to the task even on the highest speed setting. I bought this to vacuum leaves and fallen flowers from my hibiscus and plant beds. If I have to rake them out first, then there really is no point in having this device. Sorry Worx, but this one needs to go back to the engineering design team.

I’ve recently quit writing reviews for Amazon because if it’s not favorable they won’t print it. However, this product deserves a review because of its good attributes and because of some vital information that I would like to share with those researching whether or not to purchase this. Note that I am 67 but fit, am hard on tools although I take care of them (maintain and fix) and I have the same desires that most to find a good, reliable and quality product at a reasonable price. First and foremost, as other reviewers have mentioned, it is best for dry leaves. I live in western NC where the leaves are abundant and it rains frequently. The bulk of my leaves get blown with a powerful gas powered backpack blower where I mulch those with a lawn mower. I used the Worx mulcher immediately when received on small piles of semi-damp and/or totally wet leaves mixed with tiny tree limbs. The Worx mulching system worked fine for a while but bogged down when too many wet leaves or limbs were vacuumed. The blower is not very good and I would recommend using a different brand blower for that function. I wouldn’t purchase this for the blower. My first reaction was to send it back but to be fair, I still needed something for small applications of leaves in certain areas of my home so I decided to wait a few days for the leaves to dry out. That day came and I am beyond happy with the results. In the mulching mode the Worx vacuumed and mulched with no effort. I think it will last because the mulching blades are metal and not plastic or weed-eater trim-line. The design of the chute (tube that the leaves travel through to the blades) is done very well. I don’t know if they did that on purpose but you can scoop the leaves and they seem to get vacuumed very easy. Also, if you accidently scoop up a branch and it starts making noise at the mulching end, the chute easily can be opened with a push button to access the mulching blades and clean it out. And the machine won’t turn on unless you close it back up as a safety feature. Occasionally I had to push a clump of leaves into the chute because the vacuum would cause them to cover the entrance of it but that is well away from the mulching blades making it not a problem and safe. The bag attachment is another great design. It easily goes on by pushing it onto the unit and comes off with the push of a clip. It’s very secure. Some reviewers have complained about the design of the bag itself in terms of carrying it. I see what they are saying and agree, however, I’m not sure how you would design it differently. The straps are very long so instead of putting them on my right shoulder as seen in the ads, I put the straps over my head and on to the left shoulder. It seems to “ride” better that way. And about the complaints of the zipper; I don’t know how else to design that but like anything, if you don’t man-handle it but carefully pull it open and zip it shut it appears to be working as it should. You will get dust from the mulch. I wipe it off the zipper area with my hand when emptying the bag. I also read complaints about the continuous emptying of the bag. First, if you use the bag, it will get heavy. Personally I think it’s just the right size to fill up to when the weight is enough to where you want to empty it. Otherwise it would get too heavy. I put a 42 gallon black lawn trash bag in a small garbage can (you can get anywhere) and empty the bag in that. It takes about six bags before filling up which is quite a few leaves. In summary (as my opinion based on using it); I would buy this for use for dry leaves. It’s designed well, the price is right due to it being electric and not battery operated, the zipper works fine as long as you take care of it, the bag can be worn in an ergonomic way, it appears to be durable and therefore reliable and I would not buy it for the blower feature. I’m very happy with this purchase.

Lo compramos para limpiar el patio trasero, aspirar las hojas y basura que se genera y es muy bueno. No lo hemos usado como "sopladora", pero como aspiradora todo está perfecto. Lo único que podría ser un problema, es que es bastantito pesada.

The item has American not UK electrical specifications, so is not fit for purpose in the UK. This should have been a warning or declaration in the publicity and information by Amazon.

Produto chegou mas a tomada não encaixa em lugar nenhum, nem em adaptador nacional

La limpieza que antes me tomaba más de una hora, queda terminada en menos de 10 minutos. Aunque todavía no puedo opinar de durabilidad, ya que solo lo he estado usando 15 días.
